US EditionClub World Cup: FIFA strips Man City, Real Madrid, Man Utd of titles
INTERNATIONAL (FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP), JUL 19 – FIFA redefined Club World Cup history by recognizing Chelsea as the first champions after a 32-team expanded tournament, stripping three English clubs of their previous titles.
- Last week, Chelsea won the expanded 32-team FIFA Club World Cup final 3-0 against Paris Saint-Germain at MetLife Stadium.
- This victory followed FIFA's restructuring of the Club World Cup into a quadrennial tournament featuring teams from six confederations.
- In his debut season, Enzo Maresca secured two trophies for Chelsea, facing no immediate demand to claim the league title but expected to reach the Champions League and advance in cup tournaments.
- FIFA has designated Chelsea as the first official champions under the revamped Club World Cup format, while reclassifying earlier titleholders such as Manchester United and Real Madrid as "FIFA Intercontinental Champions."
- Chelsea's victory has rewritten the modern honours list and positions them as the only club officially called 'world champions' while they aim to close the gap with league leaders next season.
